Ryan Tepera is asked to take one for the team, as he pitches for the Blue Jays in a blow out in the top of the eighth. He kept putting first pitches in the strike zone, and the Royals kept pounding them. Kansas City now leads Toronto 12-2. Tepera allowed four runs so far, and leaves with two runners on base. Like R.A. Dickey, he lasted just 1 2/3 innings. He allowed five hits and two walks.
